    Outside Looking in:


    Steve Spurrier

    Duke - 20 -13-1 60.2%
    Florida - 122 -27- 1 81.6%
    South Carolina - 77-39 66.3%

    Les Miles

    Oklahoma State - 28-21 57.1%
    LSU - 95-24 79.8%

    Overall: 123-45 73.2%


    Looking at their Overall records, in various low & high level jobs, #2 & #3 don't belong on this list, IMO. Too small a sample for that much cash. Meyer is by far the most winning coach. Spurrier, Saban & Miles are separated by decimal points. Stoops has only coached at 1 high level college.

    UT and A+M trying to prove to the country that they're not racist in Texas by giving the S and S boys an undeserved wretched excess 5 million+ salary is some funny stuff right there.

    What success has Sumlin ever had that can't be directly attributed to Dana Holgorsen, Case Keenum and Johnny Manziel? Watch what happens this season without any safety nets.

    Strong didn't have enough skins on the wall to get the #1 college head coaching job. That will last three years tops IMO.
